Time and Age explores how time is defined by man. It follows the
development of our means for measuring time from early methods
using the flow of water or the steady burning of candles through to
the atomic clock that records time with incredible precision.The
classical idea of time as something that progresses at a uniform
rate and as something that is the same to all observers was
overturned by Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The conclusions
coming from this theory are described, including the anti-intuitive
twin paradox where one twin, returning from a journey to a distant
star, is younger than his twin brother.Also covered is how age can
be determined in a wide range of situations, such as how we work
out the age of the Universe to how we calculate the age of
artefacts that are just a few centuries old.
